When I was studying for my degree in Nutrition my burning question was “Is organic food more nutritious than conventional food?”
.
.
.
And guess what the answer was...
“NO!... because there is no definitive research that makes this claim” 😨
.
.
.
Ok so it’s extremely difficult to carry out studies that would control the many variables that might affect nutrients, such as seeds, soil type, climate, postharvest handling, and crop variety....
.
.
.
But surely common sense tells you that organic must be better because
of what “organic” means? .
.
.
Simply stated, organic produce are grown without the use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, genetically modified organisms, or ionizing radiation. .
.
.
Animals that produce meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products do not take antibiotics or growth hormones.
.
.
.
...fast forward to 2018 and finally a few recently published studies in peer-reviewed journals have shown organic foods to have higher nutritional value!!!
.
For example organic tomatoes have higher levels of phytochemicals and vitamin C than conventional tomatoes!!
.
.
Sorry scientific world but it was always a no-brainer with me 😝
